• You may install varying memory sizes in Channel A and Channel B. The system maps the total size of the lower-sized channel for the dual-channel configuration. Any excess memory from the higher-sized channel is then mapped for single-channel operation. • Always install DIMMs with the same CAS latency. For optimum compatibility, it is recommended that you obtain memory modules from the same vendor. • If you install four 1 or 2GB memory modules, the system may only recognize less than 3GB because the address space is reserved for other critical functions. This limitation appears on Windows® XP 32-bit operation system which does not support Physical Address Extension (PAE). • If you install Windows® XP 32-bit operation system, a total memory of less than 3GB is recommended. • The total memory may has 8MB reduction under Single Channel mode, and 16MB reduction under Dual Channel mode because the address space is reserved for Intel® Quiet System Technology. • To support the Intel® Quiet System Technology and for optimum performance, install a memory module in either DIMM_A1 or DIMM_A2 slot. • Due to chipset limitation, double x16 memory modules or memory modules with 128MB chips are not supported on this motherboard. Notes on memory limitations • Due to chipset limitation, this motherboard can only support up to 8 GB on the operating systems listed below. You may install a maximum of 2 GB DIMMs on each slot, but only DDR2-533 and DDR2-667 2 GB density modules are available for this configuration. 32-bit Windows® 2000 Advanced Server 64-bit Windows® XP Professional x64 Edition • Some old-version DDR2-800/667 DIMMs may not match Intel®'s On‑Die‑Termination (ODT) requirement and will automatically downgrade to run at DDR2-533. If this happens, contact your memory vendor to check the ODT value. • Due to chipset limitation, DDR2-800 with CL=4 will be downgraded to run at DDR2-667 by default setting. If you want to operate with lower latency, adjust the memory timing manually. • Due to chipset limitation, DDR2-667 with CL=3 will be downgraded to run at DDR2-533 by default setting. If you want to operate with lower latency, adjust the memory timing manually. 2-14 Chapter 2: Hardware information
